      Lmfao for real. Who has seen them say “oopsie doopsie, I was wrong”

      What an insane misstep to assume they’re capable of self reflection

        They say it…

        When they suffer consequences and want sympathy or help. But even then it’s never “I was a stupid asshole.” It’s always “I was lied to.” Fuck them.

          No they will never say it.

          When the disaster that was the W. Bush Presidency ended I had coworkers who had pictures of Bush on their office wall for 8 years like he was their Dear Leader and it was fucking North Korea, claim they never supported him and they were really Libertarians.

          They will never admit they were wrong. They will just get angry and attack whatever policy or solution the other party brings to the table.

      Yeah, they all knew he was friends with Epstein in 2016, I wager between 60 an 80 million people will vote for whichever fuck the GOP runs in 2028 and they’ll vote Republican straight down the ballot again this year as well.

    I’ve already seen conservatives claiming that since Andrew was arrested it means that Trump is innocent.

    Their reasoning is if the files can take down a member of the royal family then Trump did nothing wrong because he hasn’t been arrested.

    It makes no sense, but that’s just conservatives for you

    They know. But their hands are tied! They have to support monsters because that’s how elections in America work. If they don’t vote for a monster, then the Democrats win.

    There is no atrocity that will get them to snap out of it and vote for someone actually good.

    I don’t think they will ever have this awakening moment, you have to have a heart and soul to feel empathy. Even if they ever end up staring down the barrel of a gun or the end of a noose they will happily defend their pedo king.

    I live in Alabama and I work a blue collar trade. I will say, the work banter this year has gone from quieter than usual, to open calls for EVERYONE in the Epstein files to be prosecuted. They were trained for years to hyper focus on this matter from pizzagate, and they haven’t lost sight of that. They also realize this means Trump as well. For a decent amount of people, this may finally be the line in the sand. At least I hope so.

      Right across the Mississippi in Louisiana here and unfortunately I can’t say the same. People seem to be doubling down on the Republican fanaticism.

        One of my neighbors is a registered sex offender, and it was related to a minor. He’s had a Trump flag flying for years, and he put up a Turning Point USA flag after Kirk’s death. When the first set of Epstein files came out that Trump flag disappeared overnight. That Turning Point flag is there still, but Trump is conspicuously missing.

    They couldn’t have been wrong before, why would they be wrong now… That would mean having to admit they were wrong, and they weren’t wrong

    …Right?

      It would have to involve considering they might be wrong, which requires even the slightest care of being right. And they don’t care at all about being right because they have a side to defend and that’s all that matters.

      …“phew, they nearly looked in the direction of the tRUMP-Epstein files then.”

        We all know there are so much more important things than the leader of the “free world” being a twilighting raging pedo and rapist.

      The response you would get from a republican: “based”

      They like that you don’t like it and they’re doing it.
